We had wanted to try this restaurant. The restaurant has an old decor. I had the Blue Cheese Beignets (great) and the Roasted Duck Breast (okay). My wife had the Tasting Menu (5 courses) which included Maine Lobster Salad, Makarel, Sqab, Lamb and Dessert Duet all of which were just okay. The wait staff were very attentive and probably too formal. Overall, not really impressed.

Disclaimer up front - we did not have dinner here. Having heard about the great art deco architecture of the Nederland Hotel, we made a point of having a drink in the bar at the Palm Court. The hotel has a printed brochure that provides you with a self-guided walking tour of the hotel. It is definitely worth doing. You must also have a drink in the bar and take in the fabulous atmosphere.

I didn't get a chance to have dinner here but had lunch. The scallops were excellent by any standard. The composition was innovative and simply wonderful. The prices are well below New York for the quality. I regret that I have to leave town (going. Home) before having a chance at their full tasting menu.

So far, my favorite place to eat in Cincinnati. Have been here on many occasions for brunch and dinner. Both excellent. Atmosphere is great for a couple's night out or dinner with the family. Service is always great and accommodations can be made for delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes.
